I'm new to Cake too, but this is one I believe I can answer. As with many things, there is no right/wrong answer, but here's what I think would be best.
Most logic should be kept in the Controller and just a data dump in the view. So what you could do is populate your $this-data with the path for the avatar and in your view, just display whatever dump an image tag regardless. Of course you could just as easily check the data in the view before you display with an "if", but convention would lean towards the former method.
